CVE-2024-50215
HIGHLinux Kernel 6.0-6.1.115, 6.2-6.6.59, 6.7-6.11.6 - Use-After-Free in NVMe Target Authentication
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive ctrl->dh_key might be used across multiple calls to nvmet_setup_dhgroup() for the same controller. So it's better to nullify it after release on error path in order to avoid double free later in nvmet_destroy_auth(). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
